"Second Look" for Spinal Cord Injuries
Body
Our Second Look program was designed by our team of experts in SCI, lead by David Chen, MD, Medical Director, SCI Program. Dr. Chen has over 25 years of experience in treating spinal cord injuries and is one of the most renowned medical experts in his field. Dr. Chen and his team will evaluate any individual with a spinal cord injury to assess their current situation and make ecommendations for next steps in treatment. A "second look" is recommended every 18-24 months for all people with spinal cord injury.
A comprehensive medical evaluation is an integral component of Second Look, and it generally includes assessment and recommendations for preventing and managing secondary medical conditions and complications associated with spinal cord injury.
Once the evaluation is complete, the team will customize a treatment plan that can help the patient maximize his or her ability. We have customized several programs to meet the individual patient’s specific goals. Customized, cutting edge treatment options may include, but are not limited to:
- Spinal Cord Injury "Boot Camp" (an intensive program suited to each patient's needs, goals, and progress)
- Inpatient
- DayRehab®
- Outpatient Rehabilitation
- Pain Programs
